Decograde Concrete Resurfacing resurfaces pool decks in Revesby. A deck that has turned slippery, chalky or flaky is a safety issue, and a new textured layer restores grip and a clean look. Call (02) 9090 4131 and describe the state of yours.
Revesby pools and ageing surrounds
Revesby is a suburb of post-war homes, per the suburb’s Wikipedia entry, so pools from that era have had decades of splash, sun and cleaning, and some surrounds have been painted or sealed several times. Old layers can hide hollow or failing concrete.
Why grip is the first job
A smooth, wet, sun-faded deck is where people slip. We use a texture that grips and talk through how coarse you want it. Rougher is better for grip and harder on bare feet. Finer is gentler and still gives traction. Tell us who swims.
Not sure where to begin? Call (02) 9090 4131, and we will talk you through the options.
Getting the deck clean enough to coat
We wash the deck, remove algae and chalky residue, strip old paint or coating, let it dry, then repair and etch. A damp or chemically contaminated surface will not hold a bond, so the drying time is not skipped.
Not sure which option fits your situation? Call (02) 9090 4131 and talk it through with a contractor.
The coping and the water line
We mask the coping, protect the water and leave expansion joints working. If your work could touch the pool barrier, check with your council or a certifier whether anything further applies.
What to ask any contractor
- Which finish, and what slip result has it been tested to?
- How is the deck washed and dried first?
- How is the coping protected?
- How long before I can swim?
Our post on what to ask for in a pool-deck quote goes through each point. The pool deck resurfacing page and the cost guide cover process and pricing.
Sun, splash-out and chemicals
Pool water leaves chalky residue on concrete. Sun fades and dries the surface. A coating made for a dry driveway can lift here, so we choose a product for wet outdoor areas and confirm it suits chlorine or salt. We give you the data sheet.
Still weighing your options? Call (02) 9090 4131 for a straight answer.
Timing the work
Each product has a dry time before the deck can get wet, and we give you the figure in writing. Plan the work for a stretch when the pool is not needed.
What the pool-deck estimate should say about grip
For a pool deck the estimate should name the finish, its texture, and the slip result the product has been tested to, with the data sheet attached. We put those details in writing, so you can compare us with any other quote on the same basis.

Layers on an older Revesby deck
An older pool deck may have been painted, patched or sealed more than once. Each layer can hide a problem underneath, so we test the deck by sounding, scraping and watching how it takes water. If layers must come off, we tell you how much that adds before you decide.
Grip matters for toddlers and grandparents alike, so we suggest a texture that suits the whole household, and the estimate records the choice.
If your deck also leads to a patio or path, say so. We can treat the connected surfaces consistently, and the estimate shows each area separately so you can choose what to include.
Answers to common questions
Is a painted pool deck a problem?
It is common, and the paint has to come off first because a new layer will not bond to it. We tell you how much paint there is when we quote.
Do you treat the water or the pool?
No. We protect the water and work on the deck only. If the pool needs servicing, that is separate.
How rough will the finish be?
As rough as you want within reason. We bring samples, and you feel them with bare feet before choosing.
Can resurfacing fix a deck that slopes toward the house?
No. Resurfacing adds very little thickness and does not change falls. We tell you if the slope needs attention first.
Can you also resurface the path from the pool to the house?
Yes. We price connected paths and patios as separate lines so you can include them or not, and we match the texture to the way each is used.
